Again the ranch is on the market and they've shipped out the last of the horses, paid everybody off the day before, the owner saying, 'Give them to the real estate shark, I'm out a here, dropping the keys in Ennis's hand. He might have to stay with his married daughter until he picks up another job, yet he is suffused with a sense of pleasure because Jack Twist was in his dream.

The ranch has once again been listed for sale, with all the horses removed and payments settled just the prior day. The owner expresses a desire to leave, handing over the keys to a real estate agent, indicating a complete departure from his previous life. This transition evokes a mix of emotions, as he contemplates living temporarily with his married daughter while searching for new work.

Despite the turmoil of change, he experiences a sense of joy, rooted in the memory of Jack Twist, who recently appeared in his dreams. This connection to Jack reflects a lasting bond that transcends his current situation, providing him with comfort amidst uncertainty as he turns the page to a new chapter in his life.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
